Wow! A framed Wally Szerbiak jersey!!
Hey, check me out. I'm a ghost.
I still am not over the Rubio injury. I am having a hard time even caring about the team. There have been so many letdowns and failures in the past 5-6 years, so many bad draft picks... so much shit luck in the lottery... so many bad free agent moves... It was the first time in a long time things actually seemed to be heading in the right direction, and my little dreamboat gets basically the worst injury you can get as an athlete. Scammy, I think Jesus hate's me... I'm just trying to pass it off on you. The two most exciting athletes in Minnesota both went down to ACL's this year. I really want to give up on sports.
Keep yer chin up. At least you don't have to hang around in limbo while a new stadium gets built, waiting for the gutted New Orleans hornets or Charlotte Bobcats to eventually blow (literally) into town...

I think I'll remember for quite a while seeing a Sebastian Telfair T-Wolves jersey for sale. It was the only jersey for sale in a sports store. It seems like having memorabilia focused on an extra.Originally Posted by scamboogah
Also, I'm in the bracket as Monobrow, monobrow, monobrow.
Melo is out for Syracuse. There just went their chances. I didn't have them in the Finals though
I only had them winning the whole thing, so I should be fine.

Are there really not going to be any big trades in the NBA? Come on GMs! Get crazy!
How can you not love this kid..

These are great. I didn't give a fuck about Minnesota at the start of the season, but you are making me a fan.
(why do I only care about teams if the players seem like fun dudes? I don't know how to do this sports thing.)
Because nothing feels worse than feeling obligated to like some total piece of shit person just because of the jersey they're wearing. Which is why my heart goes out to Wizards fans this year. Those guys... man, those guys....

D'Antoni done. Walt Frazier kept saying it was crazy that Anthony was sat on the bench when he had a hot hand. This is pretty crazy but I think a better starting five would be Davis/Anthony/Stoudemire/Chandler/Fields. Davis knows enough not to pass to Anthony too early or else the ball sticks. Then you take Fields out for JR Smith and eventually rotate in the best lineup the Knicks have: Lin/Schumpert/Novak/JR Smith/Chandler. That's your high energy, best defense, best rebounding, best running and scoring lineup right there, amiright? Also working Lin and Davis together wasn't really working out but maybe Bibby and Lin would be a better match? I know Bibby has been struggling this season with the Knicks but maybe he needs more time on the floor.
Anyways if they play with even half as much gusto as they did against the Bulls (Jeremy Lin blocking Derrick Rose?!!!!) they should easily take care of Portland (who I had high hopes for but Crawford's shitting the bed hard)
Or just trade Anthony and Chandler for Dwight Howard and Turkoglu.

Having Woodsen as head coach is going to completely solve that whole "Melo taking too many bad isos too early in the shot clock" thing. You can probably forget about that whole Jeremy Lin thing now, too.

It must have been pretty exciting to be a Knicks fan for that 2 week span.

Its not so much about what Anthony does when he has the ball, but what he does when he doesn't. The problem is that he drifts to his favorite spots on the floor, and likes to post up -- both of which completely fuck up the spacing of D'Antoni's offense, which requires him to set up and start his offense behind the 3-point line, and also to spend more time on the baseline than he likes. If he lacks the discipline to stay where he's supposed to (and by all accounts, he does), the offense gets completely mucked up. By all accounts, no matter how many times he's told to stay on his spots, he naturally gravitates to his preferred spots.
Not sure what the solution is here, but the Knicks are a mess. I would trade Stoudemire and Anthony before I traded Chandler. But, of course, nobody in their right mind would trade for Stoudemire these days. (personally, I think he's done)
Had D'Antoni stayed, I think the Knicks could have built around Lin, Chandler, and some other jagoffs. As it is, I think they're setting themselves back five years.
And there is a 0% chance Syracuse wins the title without Melo. Zero. I don't think they'll get past the second round.
Trade rumors swirling that Boozer may be a Laker soon ... I can't wait to see how Matt tries to talk himself into that one.
Yes! I'm a Wizards fan and I put up with the past three seasons, but this current season is getting to be too much. The only current player I really like is Trevor Booker. There are so few guys on this team I would want to spend 5 minutes hanging out with.
Two things: if the Lakers come out of the trade deadline with Beasley and Ramon Sessions for Steve Blake, they immediately become the team to beat in the west.
Going forward, Minnesota is looking at a starting lineup of Rubio, Crawford, Williams, Love, and Pekovic next year, with a pretty deep bench. Thats a top-four team in the west.
And remember that Z-Bo is (hopefully) coming back soon, so the west is going to be wide open come playoff time.
Also, if you're a Portland fan, shoot yourself.
PS This is all assuming this trade goes through, and David Stern doesn't block it. Though there should be an "automatic block" clause for all one-for-one trades involving Steve Blake, unless the other guy is named Jimmer.
